I have my system's locale set to spanish (es_ES@euro). When I run Gaim it
doesn't display extended characters like "Ñ", á,é,í,ó,ú, and the following
characters.
I mean, if it should say:

- Añadir cuenta (add new account)
It says:
 - A

or:

- Configuración (Configuration)
it says:
- Configuraci


Gaim 0.60 (cvs versions) doesn't have any of these problems.

Sorry, I'm inactive and these bugs should have been reassigned to someone else.

Bouncing to bug-wranglers.

I can confirm this bug. However, it doesn't look like a Gentoo bug to me. If you
open gaim from a terminal, you'll be able to read:

** (gaim:2462): WARNING **: Invalid UTF8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()

So, basically it's a bug in gaim's code. Looking forward to the next stable
release. :)
